ZOO is the most loved place that every child wants to visit and kids’ affection for animals is obvious. Making animal crafts is all time favorite and I think I have not met any child till date who doesn’t like animals – be it wild or domestic or farm animals.

Animal crafts offer so much variety and easy to make with paper or paper plates or tissue rolls or cardboard boxes Or just handprint and footprint. And we have tried a lot of them. One can practically create crafts with all the zoo animals.

Since we cant go to the zoo at the moment, let’s make craft a zoo craft at home. 

ZOO CRAFT

Absolutely easy to make a paper zoo and super fun.

Age: 4+
Requirements:

• White paper sheet
• Colors
• Yarn threads
• Glue
• Animal stickers or drawn on paper

Step 1: Fold the sheet of paper from all 4 sides, as shown in picture

Step 2: Draw and color trees, grass, sky and the zoo frame as per choice. We  made a multicolored zoo

Step 3: Fold small pieces of paper multiple times and stick One side on base paper and Other side on the animal picture (ref pic above and below) – gives 3D effect to the zoo

Step 4: Stick pieces of black yarn or thread from top to bottom as shown above and also stick a folded paper each side to give 3D effect

Tada… our Zoo is ready. Easy peasy right.

PAPER ZOO ANIMAL CRAFTS

Hanging Snakes

Just cut rounds of the paper without separating it, color it and tie a thread at the center Of the snake body.

Which type of snake do you prefer- Single colored or multi-colored?

Well either ways, it’s fun to scare people with a hanging snake.

Finger Puppets

Why not make Lion and elephant do as you say by making them dance on your fingers!

Take a print out or draw on paper and cut and punch holes at bottom to fix fingers in them.

Tip: Be quick and don’t let the paint dry. Hold child’s hand and foot firmly And wipe off immediately after taking impression.

BUILDING ZOO

Building blocks are most recommended toys for babies due to benefits like cognitive and sensory development along with logical thinking and creativity.

This zoo with building blocks was made by my 5 year old to shelter his giraffe and few other animals who were feeling left out.
